  • Best Hanfu styles for broad shoulders

    Posted by Bethany brocco on March 2, 2025 at 12:20 pm

    I’ve got broad shoulders, and I’m worried about wearing Hanfu because some styles make my shoulders look even wider. Are there any particular styles or cuts I should avoid? What styles work best for broad-shoulder people, so I don’t feel like I’m swimming in fabric or looking too boxy?

    Got broad shoulders? No worries, there are plenty of Hanfu styles that’ll work perfectly for you! The goal here is to avoid styles that add extra width to the shoulder area, like overly structured tops or big, wide sleeves. Instead, go for a softer, more relaxed fit around the shoulders—this will balance things out. Fitted sleeves work great, or you could go for short sleeves that aren’t too tight. On the bottom, try something like a structured skirt with pleats—it helps even out the proportions. With the right style, you’ll look stunning without making your shoulders the focus.
